Q: My skin/ears are sensitive, is your jewelry hypoallergenic?

Our jewelry is designed to be hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. To minimize the likelihood of an allergic reaction, we use high-quality materials like Sterling Silver and genuine Gold. Sterling Silver consists of 92.5% pure silver, combined with 7.5% other alloys for added durability, and excludes nickel. This silver blend is commonly regarded as one of the safest metals for sensitive skin. Our gold layers are made from premium 24k Gold, 18k Gold, or 14k Rose Gold, which are also considered among the safest metals for those with skin sensitivities.24k Gold, 18k Gold, or 14k Rose Gold. Gold is also one of the safest metals for sensitive skin.

Q: How is Timalaus jewelry made?

The majority of our creations are produced through an intricate 3D-printing method, which is combined with conventional mold-making and lost wax casting techniques.

Initially, we utilize 3D digital modeling software to prepare our design file. Following this, a specialized 3D printer is used to print the design in a wax-like substance. Once the 3D print is complete and meticulously cleaned, liquid plaster is applied around the wax model to create a mold. As the plaster solidifies, the wax is melted out, leaving a cavity into which the selected metal is poured. After removing the plaster, the jewelry piece is thoroughly cleaned and hand-polished to achieve a flawless finish. Finally, we conduct finishing touches and quality checks before placing the jewelry in a gift box for presentation!

Q: Can you tell me more about the materials of the jewelry?

Each design's respective product page contains an in-depth description of the materials used. Our goal is to use the finest materials available at the current price point for our designs. By selling directly to customers, we can offer high-quality materials without traditional markups.

The majority of our designs are crafted in 925 Sterling Silver and coated with a thick layer of genuine 24k Yellow Gold, with a thickness of 2.5 Microns (referred to as Gold Vermeil designs). Sterling Silver is a high-grade silver alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver by weight and 7.5% other alloys by weight, added to enhance the strength of the finished product. Our Gold Vermeil designs feature a 24k Gold layer that is 10 times thicker than the average gold-plated jewelry. Gold Vermeil jewelry serves as an excellent alternative to costly solid gold pieces.
